1. Usually questions as vague as this one are thread-starters in the dungeon.
I must confess that I cannot vote in the poll until I understand what is being asked.

2. Democrats are known to run to the left to get the nomination,
and then to the right to win the election. But what will they do after ignoring the left?

3. it depends on how you look at right and left
ANd where you stand on the scale.

Hillary Clinton, though, seems to be acting like she doesn't have to do either. Same with Obama. And in fairness, if they get the nomination, they probably don't.

Hey if Democratic Voters liked genuinely liberal candidates, why isn't Kucinich doing better?

5. No. One of the candidates decided to run hard right from the beginning.

I have a feeling that candidate will not be reappearing on the left anytime soon.

7. If that's right, things are sure going to get ugly (uglier) in this country.
